Default MWC 9" 3 channel pics and installed

I finally got my MWC in and installed. Overall I think it was not that bad to do.
I was very impressed with Eric's work due to all of the mounting locations for the suspension was right on and everything bolted up nicely. All that is left to do is to get some braided brake lines for the rear calipers and she is ready to roll.

Mod List
MWC 9
35 Spline axles
Wavetrac lsd
Iron Center
Long tq
Richmond 4.11 gears
PST 3.5 driveshaft
Kyb adj shocks
Umi adj panhardbar
Umi subframe connectors
Umi lower control arms
Umi rear sway bar

Let me know what you guys think.

Im guessing your talking about the sensor on the back side of the rear. That is for the abs.

it may sound high at first, but start comparing prices of the other rearends available and you will soon see why this is now the most popular 9 inch rearend for the f-body. there are even quite a few features on this rearend that the other guys don't even offer that make it the most true bolt-in rearend you can buy.

pm or call us if you need more info

I also ordered the long torque arm setup. Looks like it will clear my exhaust perfectly! Where is your driveline safetey loop man!? The MWC 9" rears look expensive on paper, but when you add up what a Moser 9" cost with a chromoly torque arm and trans crossmember relocation kit the basic mwc setup comes out a much more attractive buy. His short arm tunnel mount torque arms come with a driveline safety loops so also keep that in mind. You look under a car with a standard housing and you say hmm 9"... Look under a MWC 9" car and people say holy **** what is this!!

Just curious since you have a good rear now, what kind of times are you planing on achieving?

Honestly I have no idea. I have never ran the car at the track yet. Bought it last September. Will be seeing the track very soon though. I will also be on drag radials so what do you think I might be at. The car dynoed in at 350 rwhp with my mod list minus the rear end.

I guess you didn't understand my post. A driveshaft safety loop is required to pass tech inspection if you are running drag radials or slicks.

Ahh i did not understand your post then sorry. Good point though. Hopefully they just ask then because it would be really hard for them to look under the car since its lowered so much.
